Yeah guys I had to give it up, and I'll give up until my new laptop arrives fixed. I really appreciate those that tuned in to watch, and hopefully the hands you did get to see and the thought process behind them were okay! Gonna edit this post in a few mins with graph of today and some hands...

Actually, I've just read from page 11 (100 posts per page) and I was wrong. You're not just a RB grinder, you're a mad sicko grinder.

Keep it up.

That's very kind JPE, thank you.



Today is the first day this year I can comfortably say I never played well. Managed to relax a little and with some rungood the winning streak continues, 8/8! Some hands...

This hand saved the day, and quite possibly my life. Wonder how different the action would've been had I 3b pre

              I think I should be about $800 better off if it wasn't for these 1 outers!

              QQ hand looks fine to me. He can't really have a bluff here ever. River might be an X back.

              I don't like 9Tcc hand though. Especially calling that big 4 bet. I think it's pretty clear he has QQ+. Maybe not even AK/QQ cause ur deep.

              Agree about QQ, but given we're a bit deep & IP w T9cc I reckon it's ok to see a flop if we are satisfied villain has AA/KK very often and we won't be going crazy on a 932r flop or that!



              Last session done on my stake. I finished -$75. Considering I played 350k hands during the stake, and the fact that I got 1 outered 7 times (once for 550bb), I'm delighted with the result! I was like -$1500 at one point and starting to really panic, but yeah, happy with the overall result. Month so far...



              Hands from the session...

              How SB (a reg) shows up w 89o here is a mystery. How I held is another mystery!!

                          That'll do for now. Need to chop with backers etc and then I'll see where I'm at. I'm gonna come out of the agreement in a healthy position. The two guys that have staked me, Colin and David, are without a doubt the coolest guys I've met on my poker journey. They were flexible, gave me a great deal, and just all round awesome to work with. Thank you gents!

                          with 9Tcc we have 5% chance of hitting two pair+ and that's seeing all 5 cards.

                          I don't see how it's ever profitable.

                          Even with 19% chance of getting flush draw/open ended draw we aren't getting right price pre.

                          Good shout lads, will do that.

                          Played a few hands at 100z tonight in prep for tomoz, v quick session, about 30 mins or so. Got KK vs AA and AK vs QQ in pre and lost both, but finished +$120. It's not as daunting as I thought, really hope I can get my foot in the door and stay there. Cool way to finish (didn't see the 3b pre somehow, thought I was overcalling)

                            I'm only gonna play 100 over the weekend, unfortunately I'm not rolled enough for it and have to cash out for IRL stuff. Having played like 2k hands tho I've come to realise that it's nowhere near as hard as I thought, and there are still plenty of fish and average regs. Graph and hands so far...

                                        That'll suffice for now. Will play a bit later on tonight, depends on what gf's plans are. I think after I cash out I'll be left with about $2500. Not bad after xmas, gf's birthday and bills bills bills lately.

                                                  Is that bad? I do as well, for value vs wide openers.

                                                  would be bad on btn but on co it can be fine if no fish behind and possible squeezers
                                                  especialy since people have started to call all pp's and any 2 suited just like 5 years ago when eveyrone sucked

                                                  Even on btn, I think it's fine to 3b vs non nits.

                                                  Even more so, if there are squeezers behind. ATs is not a strong enough hand to induce a squeeze.

                                                  Thought ATs was pretty standard, esp vs a fish?



                                                  That's my overall graph for 100nl. I was about -5bi's today and not exactly loving life, but I pretty much rustocko'd. Spent the night playing MTTs, got loads and loads of sick coolers and cashed in 2 for about 8 bucks. Grinding out a mincash in the last one (no I'm not, as I type I just lost a flip). Really disappointing how I ran, but whatevs. I have to cash out a chunk just now, and will play 50z this week. If it goes well I can play 100 again next weekend, but it might have to wait until the end of the month. After I cash out and when I make my 100k fpp bonus in a few days I'll have about $2200 left in my acct. Aiming to make another 100k bonus before I go to Portugal on 31st Jan, shouldn't be too hard to do. I've been procrastinating a bit so far this year, but the work begins again tomorrow!

                                                  It's not bad at all vs a fish but imo from all the analysis im doing recently on my datamine of hu players, playing more passive preflop vs the fish is definitely +ev

                                                  The HU players with the highest winrate are the super passive preflop ones and those who get excited have massive swings compared to the passive ones.

                                                  From every hu bumhunter i have 10k+ hands on, those that 3bet 10% & less have had almost no fish run up 2-3bi stack while the ones that 3bet 10%+ have much lower winrate, higher rake paid and a ton of massive bad beats from bringing the fish 2-3bi deep way too often.

                                                  + from 80k hands on bots that crush 10 to 20bb 6max 100nl none of them 3bet ATs in any position

                                                  siding on passiveness pf is never a mistake. i still remember that tard in BBV a few years ago playing 35/5 on party. Everyone made fun of him but he was winning 10 or 20bb/100 with good volume and i remember some guy on ongame 100-200-400 that had the same stats with a massive winrate too. And im pretty sure theres a limping tard on stars that makes a ton @ midstakes.
